Published three times a year, Giving Strength reports on the progress of our grantees, provides information about our grantmaking, and helps us share information about what we have learned. In this issue, we explore the effects of leverage on a variety of organizations. We also take snapshots of the five school districts involved in our K-12 pilot programs as they work to increase high school graduation rates.

Highlights from this issue include:

		Letter from the President
		Leverage, The Multiplier Effect
		Grantee Update - Dillard University
		Reports and Findings - Diverse Approaches Help Students Graduate
		Preparing for a Site Visit: A Program Officer's Perspective
		Grants Approved in November 2006
		Fellows News Notes
		Bush Foundation News
		Gallery: Darfur in Focus - Chris Herlinger (BLF'91)
